                    Hope you all had a wonderful 2013.  I'm looking forward to another awesome year of getting to know all of you!!

                    Yes - I loved this one!! If you're not a fan of cliffhangers, though, you might as well wait until the next one comes out!
                    Congratulations, that's quite a lot of books you read! I have been wanting to read Divergent for so long, and yesterday I finally got if from a friend. I am so excited to start reading it!!

                    I need to read All Our Yesterdays soon!
                    I loved You Are Mine as well and I'm really looking forward to the next book to see what happens next.
                    And it was interesting to see the breakdown as to how many were 4.5 and 5 star. I'm off to check mine out now :)
